This one-level, two-bedroom townhome has been freshly updated and is move-in ready. New luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, the kitchen has all new appliances including an induction range, and updated lighting plus new ceiling fans in both bedrooms keep things bright and comfortable all year. With no steps anywhere within the property, it's an easy, accessible layout for anyone who wants to avoid stairs. At just over 1,100 square feet, the layout skips the maze of hallways you'd expect in a home this size. The kitchen, dining area, and living room open into one connected space, so it's easy to furnish, easy to move through, and easy to keep an eye on things no matter where you are. A half bath is tucked nearby for guests, without eating into the main living area. Down the one hallway, you'll find the laundry and both bedrooms, with a full bathroom with a tub waiting at the end. Out back, slide open the door onto a covered patio facing wooded land. No fences, no neighbors looking in, just trees and a nearby walking path that's great for morning coffee or an evening stroll. A small storage closet on the patio keeps boots, bikes, and outdoor gear out of the house without cluttering up your living space. The home comes with its own detached, fully enclosed garage, complete with a storage loft for anything that doesn't need to live indoors, plus nearby guest parking for visitors. Two pets are welcome. The location is hard to beat too. You're minutes from schools, grocery stores, restaurants, UVM Medical Center, the airport, and I-89, with bike paths and other recreation just outside your door.
